A Word That Deserves a Comeback…

It’s a perfectly good word, and a precise and useful one, too.

“Crackpot.”

Use it in a sentence, Bill.

OK.   “Right-wing crackpot Sean Hannity.”

The premise here: Anyone who uses the terms “Obama” and “Bolshevik” in the same sentence, as the right-wing tonsil’s been  doing, is  ipso facto  a “crackpot.”

Keith Olbermann calls this clown “The Manatee.”   I prefer a term another critic used, “Gumby.”

Comic Steven Pearl used to wisecrack,  “Mrs. Gumby gives her husband tilted head.”   Hannity — which probably shouldn’t rhyme with “sanity” — looks like he could use some of that.
